John Henry şarkı sözleri

John henry had a hammer slammer through a mountainside his eyes You'd see a new machine was coming running down his pride In school they taught he was a hero throw yourself in front of never Stopping industry confused cuz in the end he died Some say i'm a steel driving man Really i drive steel Into holes hard enough to bust juices of passion through peels For my zeal for the new deal May combat depression of pockets for me and my queen To get our ticket to a meal So i feel To beat the machine before the whistle squeals I slang hammers Bustin rocks with human appeal For no system will ever beat me But the irony Is competition will be the eventual death of me So let's see What the moral of the story be Empathy for machines created by self-reflections Or for those who lube societies with greed and misdirection Linked like chain gangs singing spirituals while death and infection Resurrection of the truth in the form of falsified fables and perceptions Enigmatic like holes that swallow the universe not to return And in turn Conceal like mascara the biggest lessons to learn
